I purchased these rubber floor mats from Amazon for my 25. The price was low, so I didn't expect WeatherTech quality mats; however, I was rather surprised at how well they look and fit. Hopefully the last for at least a few years.

Found some twisty roads and let it eat a bit. For a 5k lbs SUV with car seats in the captain chairs and a good amount of gear in the folded 3rd row cargo area, this thing is so fun to drive.

Would love to see your process to install the dashcam. Would you be able to share?

THat looks so good! Are you worried about the warranty being voided with all the changes?

Depends on what type of setup you want to run. Always on, parked monitoring? You'll need to tap the fuse panel. On only when the vehicle is powered? You'll need to tap the rear view mirror. That's the easier of the two. If you want to install a rear cam you have to run the wiring through the headliner.

Thank you! I think I would like an "always on" option and one in the back but will look at the work involved prior to attempting. I was quoted 250 to install the dash cameras which I might consider as well. Thank you.

I was afraid of tackling this project. Once I dove into it, I found it quite simple and a very satisfying accomplishment. I installed front and rear cameras in our ST and my wife’s EcoSport. All it takes is some fuse taps and a tool kit like this:

Warranty? What's that? The dealer has to prove that the aftermarket parts installed caused the initial problem.

Yea…not really. You might think they do and the internet groups love to distort and throw out the Mag Moss Act like it gives you carte blanch to do whatever you want…but it doesn’t. Example…you swapped springs and a cv shaft goes bad. They can tie that into the entire suspension, axle shafts and rear diff all by saying you modified the suspension. They don’t have to prove it when you give them the proof.

I watched many videos; the manufacturer (Mangoal) of the cam I bought (Amazon) even had one. It's not hard at all. The front one took me all of about 20 minutes and the rear one about 2 hours. I'm anal about hiding the wires and getting into cable to the rear hatch took the longest. Just take your time and do it yourself.

It would be great if it were that simple, but it's not. They can tie just about any modification into a warranty denial. Once they deny it, you would end up paying more in attorney fees than you would on the actual repair! Most dealers won't give you a hassle because they want to get paid but if they decide to deny your claim, be ready to pay out of pocket.

Awesome. Thank you. Have you been happy with the Mangoal?

Got and “installed” a Optimuz hitch cover today. Hoping I figure out the trick so it gets easier for next time. Cold and rainy so bad pic from inside the garage. IMG_7582.jpeg
